I can’t come this week, but hopefully I’ll be there next Wednesday. After painting at the historic old Manatee, drop in at Manatee Art Center and see the two wonderful watercolor shows now on exhibit! Suncoast show and the traveling international watercolor show! Lydia kaeyer

It would be nice to see both shows at once! We just had an opening of Vlad’s “Summer Tunes” watercolor exhibition at Plymouth Harbor in Sarasota. it is open daily till April 3. Just stop by any time you are around. They have free no tipping valet parking (very convenient).

I also belong to another plein air group and they post the location on their Facebook page each week. They do not take a headcount prior to the gathering. If you are looking for a way to reduce housekeeping, you could have a separate Facebook post for each Wednesday/Saturday with the location. Those who are attending could comment that they are going to be there…

Joanne, Facebook is good but we learned that not all of our members are on Facebook. We don’t need head counts but we think that painters would love to see who is coming especially if painting location is far away. Thank you for sharing your idea! 🙂
